HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
There are three houses registered.
There was no cause for complaint when inspected.
COMMON LODGING HOUSE.
There is one Common Lodging House in the town
which has been visited and found in a satisfactory
condition.
SCAVENGING.
A weekly collection of refuse has been carried out
during the year and only 8 complaints have been made.
A circular letter from the Local Government Board
with reference to Infantile Diarrhoea was received
recommending the frequent removal of house refuse.
The question of removal of house refuse more
frequently than once a week should be considered by
the Council.
During the year applications were made by householders
for a collection twice a week for which they
offered to pay. This showr that at least some of the
inhabitants would welcome this reform.
I am glad the Council have the question of erecting
a refuse destructor under consideration and hope in
the near future that one will be provided.

(2 underground) 7 Slaughter houses, 26 Butchers

not been usee for three years has again been brought

The above premises on the whole have been kept
in a Sanitary condition.
